Babar Hayat's 122 is also the highest ever score in T20I in the 2nd innings of a T20I in a losing cause.[4] Babar Hayat's 122 is in second place for the highest percentage of runs in a completed innings of a team,where his team scored only 175/7 in that innings.[5]

On 16 February 2017 in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship match against the Netherlands, he and Anshuman Rath made 197 runs for the third wicket. This was a List A record for Hong Kong and a record for any wicket in a World Cricket League match.[7]

In December 2017, he became the first batsman for Hong Kong to score a double century in first-class cricket, when he made 214 not out against Papua New Guinea in the 2015–17 ICC Intercontinental Cup.[8]

In August 2018, he was named the captain of Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup Qualifier tournament.[9] However, prior to the tournament, Hayat stepped down as captain,[10] with Anshuman Rath replacing him.[11] Hong Kong won the qualifier tournament, and he was then named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2018 Asia Cup.[12]

In December 2018, he was named in Hong Kong's team for the 2018 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup.[13] He was the leading run-scorer for Hong Kong in the tournament, with 136 runs in three matches.[14] In April 2019, he was named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament in Namibia.[15]

In September 2019, he was named in Hong Kong's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[16] However, ahead of the 2019–20 Oman Pentangular Series, Hayat declared that he was no longer available to play for Hong Kong.[17]
